Xam’s Daily Gem:
Rangers/Canadiens Under 6.5 Goals -130 FanDuel 1 Unit
PLAY OF THE DAY!
The Rangers are looking like one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference right now. They’re the ONLY team in the Conference without a loss on the ledger, and that’s primarily due to their defense. They have given up just 4 goals over their last 3 games and have given up 2 or less goals in 4 of their 5 games this season. Igor Shesterkin is one of the BEST goalies in the sport and is off to a strong start this year. Canadiens goalie Sam Montembeault has been inconsistent this year, but he’s already pitched a shutout and given up just 1 goal on another occasion, both of which came at home. Already this season, Montreal has scored just 1 goal in 2 of their 6 games. The Rangers have an ELITE defensive unit, and coming into this game rested, Shesterkin and the defense should be ready to roll! Montreal’s defense will be the key to this Play. The Rangers have scored 4 or more goals in every game they have played this season! With guys like Mika Zibanejad, Artemi Panarin, Trocheck, and Kreider all involved, it’ll take a TEAM EFFORT for the Canadiens to mucky this game up and keep it close. Guys like Mike Matheson, Lane Hutson, Justin Barron, and Logan Mailloux will ALL be key to helping Montembeault keep the Rangers off the scoreboard.
